Apple Cider in a Jack-O-Lantern This is both a centerpiece as well as a punchbowl. Thoroughly clean out the inside of the pumpkin. Make sure you remove all the strings. Paint a Jack-O-Lantern face on the pumpkin using a black permanent marker. Refrigerate the pumpkin until you are ready to serve the drink. Pour apple cider or another Halloween punch into the cold pumpkin.
